There could be a few reasons why your crochet piece is uneven:
Tension: It's possible that your tension is uneven, which can make your stitches tighter or looser depending on the area. This can happen when you're starting out and you haven't quite mastered the feel of the yarn and hook. To better control your tension, check the size of every loop on your hook. Any time there's a loop on your hook, try to make the loop the same size as all the other loops.
Not counting stitches: If you're not counting your stitches as you work, it's easy to lose track of where you are in a pattern. This means you might be crocheting the wrong stitches at the wrong parts, which could lead to a lopsided piece.
Not paying attention to the pattern: If you're not paying attention to the pattern, you might be making mistakes that can cause unevenness in your piece.
Yarn quality: Sometimes yarn can vary in thickness, which can cause unevenness in your piece.
The good news is that most of these issues can be fixed by practicing or paying more attention as you crochet. Just take a step back and take a look at how you crochet. Try to identify where the problem is and work on fixing it.
